Mr.. Beecher, will men print such pictures as

B. R. S. s reference to Mr.. Beechers newspa-
per controversy with Comegys is not quite COM
plete. as the writer thinks he remembers his ex-
act words, published in temperance paper
at that time and which were: lift shall come to
that, then will procure for my defense Quaker,
woman and child" An especial cause for Mr..
Beecher's onslaught upon Comepys was the fact
that be had been and was then a member of the
little church he had built up in Lawrenceburg,
and while thus member becoming distiller
was too much for Mr.. BIS righteopsly disposed
soul, and, patience ceasng longer to be a virtue
with him, he scathed him in bitterest language.
Even at that early day of the temperance reform
the conscences of some were directed against
the manufacture, we'll as sale and drinking
intoxicating liquors; while his father had, at
least five years before. advocated prohibition;

consciousness that my son will not become

viewed in regard to his church and early work
in Lawrenceburg, Mr.. Beecher said his church
was composed of women, excepting one man,
but he was not fit to belong to it; evidently re-
ferring to Comegys. 1t was Comegyss boast at

Action of the Clerical Union.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The Clerical Union Of

body of ministers in Chicago relative to Henry

Union, at special meeting held to-day unani-
mously adopted a lengthy minute, the same be-
ing designed, secondarly, to offset the attitude
of the Chicago clergymen. 1t recites that Mr..
Beecher was fellow member for more than a
quarter OF century; that its bership includes
representatives of Congregational Presbyterian,
Baptist, Dutch Reformed, Methodist and Lu-
theran churches, and says I'VE bow reverently
before Almighty God in the intimate sense Of
irreparable loss, yet also with gratitude for the
painless close of our brothers life, and in special
